We hosted a corporate event for 400 clients this week in Mallorca, Spain, and we took around 80 of them coasteering on the stunning, rocky coastline. Signing up from their desks, not all of the clients knew what to expect from coasteering. Surging swells brought big waves and meant an adapted route was required. Coasteering combines open water swimming, rock climbing, and high diving (although jumping was the required means of entry, as mandated by our guides). Our clients got a short safety briefing and moved to the first ledge.
One of the great, high-adrenalin summer event activities, our groups started with a 5m jump, followed by further climbs and jumps, an open-water swim, and then a cave exit. Due to the size of the waves, some of the traverse was cancelled, and instead, we spent extra time on the zip water that the guides had installed.
The zip wire was awesome. Some clients timing their descent to coincide with the bigger waves and being wiped off the pulley. Feedback was excellent—coasteering really did offer a totally new experience to the group.
